The youngest Guantanamo Bay detainee has won more than CAD$10 million ($7.7 million) and an apology from the Canadian government after settling in court.

Omar Khadr—a child soldier who was arrested in Afghanistan at the age of 15 for killing a U.S. Special Forces soldier during combat—was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for ten years from 2002 to 2012.

Khadr, who was born in Toronto, was awarded the money after filing a lawsuit in 2004 against the Canadian government, claiming the country conspired with the U.S. to torture him at the jail. Khadr’s suit sought $20 million in compensation. On Monday, the Toronto Star revealed that the suit has been settled and that Khadr will get less than he sought.

In 2010, Khadr pleaded guilty to the murder of U.S. Delta Force soldier Sgt. Christopher Speer after throwing a grenade that killed him and partially blinded Sgt. Layne Morris. He is the only U.S. captive prosecuted for murder under the Military Commissions Act. The law was written after 9/11 and made it a crime to kill U.S. soldiers during combat. Khadr was arrested in the early days of America's war in Afghanistan.

In 2015 a court in Utah ordered Khadr to pay $134 million to Speer’s widow and Morris after the pair brought a civil suit against him. Khadr did not respond to the suit and the cash award was handed down as a “default” judgment.

Without legal action in Canada, the claim cannot be collected. It’s unclear whether Khadr’s winnings in his civil suit will be pursued.

Former Guantanamo Bay detainees in the United Kingdom have also received payouts after they alleged their government was complicit in torture.
